Aaron and Abe are classy hosts. Aaron has this very confidant radio-like voice while Abe is more casual. Both are always very welcoming to a big roster of guests each week. I love “feedback, feedback…” and other little names that the team has given to each segment. And at the end of each show Aaron will pit his guests against each other with fun movie trivia that is themed around the week’s film. Fun! They also do awesome commentary tracks! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Great show
